What is in a name? - Gamazson - 10-08-2007
There has been discussion among the members of the Slavers Union about our name. Mainly we are concerned about the limitations it has placed upon us. We wear the Junker Tag and ID which allows allot of fun RP potential, however it limits us in the eyes of others. So far the general consensus is that we only deal in Slavery, instead of that just being our biggest trade.
Also the name lacks originality and is repressing the ever so important recruitment. We just don't stand out. Therefore this thread is a forewarning that a complete faction name change, along with tag is iminent.
Anyone with any suggestions or qualms about us doing this please state your piece, it would be much appreciated.

Umm...
"Scalliwags United"?
Actually, I don't mind your old name.. and hopefully soon, you'll actually have some slaves to trade in.
And the first law of trade is never come back empty. That's a given.
Good luck with it. Awesome shipnames, btw. Something beginning with an "S" would save ya a few bucks, no?

I have a strong feeling in my gut that our relations with SCRA will go from very bad to much much worse.........

well maybe you can change it to something that would allow you to not change everything.
maybe to keep from having to change your (SU) tag you can just change the name to something that matches it.
examples:
Sirius Union
Scelestus Unus (latin for "wicked one")
Servitus Undique (latin for "slavery everywhere")
something like that might work

Not bad I like the Latin but once again it puts too much emphasis on slavery. That vile crime is one of our number one hobbies but it is not the only that we want to involve ourselves in.
Our existing tag is not an issue. If it turns out better to change our tag so be it. I'd rather spend the money now while we are small in number rather then later when it would be very expensive.
Right now there is tossing about the use of the word Consortium, but it is still tentative.

How about the Sirius Smugglers Consortium? {SSC} for short. Or maybe just Smugglers Union if you don't want to bother changing your tag.

Consortium is used for everything, in all sorts of games.
I would advise something less cliche... the only problem being that every evil corporation name has been used unto oblivion...
Syndicate is cliche, ain't it? Perhaps... the Galactic Collective of Independent Businessmen? Shorten it to the IB? Dunno, I can't come up with names that sound good at this hour of the night. I'm terribly sorry.
